Chapter 295: When the City Breaks
"Sister-in-law, how are you feeling now? Is it still cold? ”
In the ice and snow, a team of soldiers and horses were in a hurry, and the red-robed woman sitting on the horse in front of her hurried for a while, then jumped off the horse and ran directly into the carriage drawn by the horse behind.
This woman is naturally the Qi treasure box that went out with the army, and the one sitting in the car is Yun Yao.
Yun Yao sat alone in the car, wrapped in a thick quilt, holding a hand stove in her arms, and warm tea next to her, it can be said that Yun Yao's treatment in such a rapid march was not bad at all, even if it was not much different from home, but the carriage was thinner, not as good as the thick brick wall house to resist the erosion of wind and cold.
Yun Yao stuffed the hand stove into Qi Baobox's arms, raised her head and smiled: "I'm not cold, you should also hurry up and warm up, although you are strong, you are also a woman, what do you have to be frozen on the horse, wouldn't it be better to sit in the carriage with me." ”
Qi Baobox shook his head with a smile: "I know you feel sorry for me, it's just that I'm strong and not afraid of the cold, and besides, I'll immediately let those people see that our women are no worse than men, and so that people don't look down on us." ”
"What are you doing?" Yun Yao almost rolled her eyes: "But why bother to make yourself suffer for the sake of a few words from others." ”
As she spoke, Yun Yao also opened the small drawer next to her and took out a plate of snacks and a plate of dried fruits from it.
It happened that Qi Baobox was also hungry, so he took a piece of dim sum and ate it, and nibbled on dried fruits and various dried fruits.
The two sisters-in-law talked for a while, and Qi Baobox put on his coat and got out of the carriage and ran to the front.
When Qi Baobox opened the car door, Yun Yao clearly felt the cold wind blowing in outside, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed Qi Baobox, and then saw the straight back in front of him, it was Qi Jing, next to Qi Jing was Han Xin, Han Xin suffered in the early years, and his body was not as good as the Qi family.
Qi Baobox probably saw that Han Xin was uncomfortable, and turned around to find a sable big sable for Han Xin to wear.
Yun Yao felt that the weather was really cold, and there was a feeling of cold wind hitting her bones, and she was also afraid that Qi Jing would freeze, so she also found a fox fur and asked someone to send it to Qi Jing.
After the car door opened for a short while, Yun Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately closed the car door, rubbing her frozen stiff fingers, while thinking about what kind of equipment would be the easiest to use if it was to attack the city.
After thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was most secure to attack together from the top, middle and bottom.
On the road is in the sky, Yun Yao thought about the few flying machines she quietly asked Qi Jing to bring, these flying machines have not flown for a long time, in the end, the material is limited, and she has to repair it outside Chang'an City.
The middle road is the city gate, and Yun Yao plans to go outside the city to make a few simple door knocking machines to break the city gate.
As for the bottom road, it is underground, which is a little more complicated, and you have to make a few drilling rigs. It was a little inconvenient to make a drill in a carriage, and it was even more inappropriate to make a door knocking machine, but she could take advantage of the time to make a few core mechanisms of these machines.
Yun Yao opened a drawer, which contained her usual tools and various parts and materials.
She warmed her hands with the stove first, then took the tools and began to work on the mechanism.
Yun Yao almost always came over like this along the way, except for eating and sleeping, most of her was doing all kinds of parts, and after only two or three days of walking, Yun Yao's face was a little bad, but she thought that Chang'an City was in danger now, and she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to tell anyone about her hard work.
Chang'an, Zichen Palace
Emperor Chengping sat on a wide chair in the palace with a pale face, his whole person looked much older, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear.
"Oh no, no." Wei Mu hurriedly ran over and knelt down with a panicked face: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the people of Beiliang, Beiliang have entered the city." ”
"What?" Emperor Chengping rolled down from his chair in shock: "You, you say it again, how is Beiliang?" ”
"It's in." Wei Mu said loudly, got up and went to help Emperor Ping: "Your Majesty, the slave will take you away quickly, otherwise you will ......"
"Let's go, where are we going?" Emperor Chengping's face was pale, and his originally handsome face was distorted by fear: "Where can I go now?" Chang'an is surrounded by Beiliang, and there are Beiliang people all around, those people, those people can kill, where can I go? Where can I go? ”
He was frightened and frightened, full of anxiety, and anxious to circle around the room.
After a while, Emperor Chengping pointed outside and said, "Hurry up, hurry up and ask all these guards and eunuchs in the palace to guard the gate of the imperial city, and don't ask anyone to enter the palace." ”
"Yes." Wei Mu received the order, and ran out to ask someone to guard the palace gate, when he heard the sound of killing outside.
Wei Mu hurriedly retreated again and glanced at Emperor Chengping: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid, it's already late." ”
Emperor Chengping also knew that the big thing had been decided, and sat down on the chair in a dejected manner.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a burst of crying outside, and then, the queen Zhao, who had only been crowned two years ago, entered the Zichen Palace crying all the way with several concubines who were wearing flowers and branches.
Zhao is young and beautiful when he cries, and it is even more beautiful to cry with pear blossoms and rain, if Emperor Chengping usually has to comfort Zhao, but at this moment he only felt annoyed, and couldn't help but slap the table and yell: "What are you crying about?" ”
Zhao sobbed and wiped his tears, but the concubines cried loudly: "Majesty, majesty, what should we do?" Help. ”
"Help?" Emperor Chengping sneered: "I still want to call someone to save my life?" But who can save me? ”
Seeing the delicate faces of the flowers, Emperor Chengping was full of misery, waved his hand and said: "If the people of Beiliang really attack in, I will find a way to keep you safe, if not, it is better for you to make self-determination in order to protect your innocence." ”
As soon as these words came out, several frightened concubines sat down on the ground, but Zhao was calmer, and she nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, the concubine understands, but please rest assured, the concubine will never insult His Majesty." ”
"陛xià." A little eunuch hurriedly ran in: "The Northern Liang people have attacked, and they are about to attack Zichen Palace." ”
At this time, Emperor Chengping also knew that it was useless to be afraid, for the dignity of the emperor, he was much calmer, he got up and asked the little eunuch: "What the hell is going on, Chang'an City is solid and bitter, how can the city be broken in just a few days?" ”
The little eunuch bowed his head: "I heard, I heard that it was a subordinate of Ding Xiang's family who opened the city gate with Ding Xiang's warrant." ”
"Ding Xiang?" Emperor Chengping was startled at first, and then gritted his teeth: "It turned out to be him, it turned out to be him, what a Ding Xiang, I believe in him so much, damn it." ”
When Emperor Chengping was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he heard a chaotic footsteps, and then, he saw Ding Xiang, who was dressed in purple, leading Emperor Beiliang Xian Yuye and a group of Beiliang soldiers into Zichen Palace.
The Zhao family shrank back, and several concubines also hid behind the Zhao family and did not dare to speak.
Emperor Chengping took a step forward, stood in the middle of the main hall and glanced at Xian Yuye, and then looked at Ding Xiang, his face was full of indignation and mockery: "Ding Xiang, Ding Zhizhong, what a loyalty, I really didn't expect that at the critical moment of life and death in Chang'an, it was you who betrayed the enemy and betrayed the country to open the city gate to Beiliang, and I have trusted you for so many years, but you repay me like this......"
Ding Xiang didn't have the slightest anger when he heard Emperor Chengping mock him like this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he sneered: "I'm really sorry, I'm also like this for my country, speaking of which, I don't blame me for this, I only blame you for your own blindness to exile loyal ministers and good generals and talents who can be used in the court, and most of the people appointed are traitors, and it is no wonder that others end up like this." ”
When he said this, Emperor Chengping became more and more angry, and he couldn't say a word when he pointed at Ding Xiang.
Ding Xiang smiled: "Now that I am dying, there is nothing that I can't say, tell you the truth, how many years ago I Beiliang plotted against the Great Zhou Dynasty, how much effort was spent on this, how much sacrifice was made, but I am really not a Great Zhou person, I am the Xianyu clan of the Northern Liang Palace, if you really want to talk about it, I am the brother of the Emperor of Northern Liang now, I was sent to the Great Zhou by my father when I was a child, so many years, I have been looking for an opportunity to corrupt the Great Zhou Dynasty, but I am looking for an opportunity, Without you, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be in vain to distinguish between virtue and foolishness, speaking of which, I really have to thank you. ”
"You, you ......"
Emperor Chengping didn't want Ding Xiang to be a royal member of the Northern Liang Dynasty, or an elder brother who was fresh in the night, he was stupid for a while, and at the same time, there was a depression in his heart that he couldn't vent.
Xian Yuye sneered and looked at Ding Xiang: "What nonsense is my brother talking to him, I directly took the jade seal, and then gathered the palace in one place, let's just put it away." ”
General Jin, who was beside Xian Yuye, laughed for a while: "I heard that there are a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden in the Great Zhou Palace, since we are here, there is no reason to return empty-handed, and I don't ask for it, just ask to see what the mountains of treasures look like." ”
General Huangfu lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, first suppress the Great Zhou Emperor, and then try to plot something else." ”
As soon as Xian Yuye waved his hand, several strong men immediately stepped forward to tie up Emperor Chengping.
Emperor Chengping gritted his teeth, scolding something nonsense in his mouth, and at most he was scolding Ding Xiang, Ding Xiang looked at him when he heard it, and after a few steps, a few ear scrapers hit Emperor Chengping's face: "If you scold indiscriminately, your mouth will be sewn." ”
A threatening word made Emperor Chengping dare not speak again, and several strong men who escorted him laughed when they saw it, and one of them slapped Emperor Chengping twice on the head: "It's really an obedient dog, don't dare to bite him if you don't ask him to bite." ”
The other kicked Emperor Chengping: "Sure enough, it's a faint king, and it's still a faint king who is as timid as a mouse." ”
Emperor Chengping's face was swollen and red, and his face was full of humiliation, but he didn't dare to resist in the slightest.
Xian Yuye's eyes were full of disdain, and he sneered: "It's strange that our Northern Liang can attack Chang'an, with such an emperor, it's strange that the Great Zhou Dynasty will not die." ”
After saying that Emperor Chengping was finished, Xian Yuye looked up and saw Empress Zhao and a few concubines who were shrinking in the corner, and instantly smiled on his face, and beckoned to Empress Zhao: "Come here, let me take a look." ”
Empress Zhao shook her head and stepped back with tears on her face.
Several concubines were also frightened by the six gods, and as soon as their faces sank at night, someone went over to arrest Queen Zhao.
Emperor Chengping roared when he saw this, and turned his head to look at Empress Zhao: "Zhao, you take them to kill themselves." ”
Empress Zhao's face turned pale, and just as a man's hand reached out to her, she let out a long sigh, slapped the man away with one palm, and slammed into the pillar on the side.
A few exclamations sounded, and Empress Zhao's body fell softly, and blood gushed out from her forehead.
Emperor Chengping couldn't bear to close his eyes and not see it, but he still said in his mouth: "Concubine Shu, you must keep your innocence." ”
Concubine Shu was wearing a silver-red dress, and she was already frightened when she saw Empress Zhao touching the pillar and died, but when she heard Emperor Chengping ask their sisters like this, the concubine from the Jiangmen scolded angrily: "Bah, you faint king, incompetent thing, you can't protect your wife and concubine, you don't dare to resist when the foreign enemy invades, but instead ask a few of our weak women to commit suicide to save the last bit of face of your human king, you can also say it." ”
Xian Yuye was a little angry when he saw Queen Zhao dead, but when he heard Concubine Shu scolding, he was a little happy, slapped his face and smiled: "Okay, the scolding is good, it is indeed a faint king." (To be continued.) )
